The Harp and the Sword – Foreword 1 Foreword Foreword Commissioner John D. Waldron (R) has once again bent his indefatigable skills as an anthologist to harvest words from the Army's past. Evangeline Booth, daughter of the Founder and fourth General of The Salvation Army, can still speak direct to the heart. Renowned for her oratory no less than for her dramatic personality and charismatic leadership, Eva Booth in her day swayed the emotions to challenge her hearers and to win the hearts of thousands for the Lord. She was an outstanding woman of God. To have value for us today, words from the past must do more than inform our minds or even warm our hearts. Therefore any Army anthology should not merely lead us into a nostalgia for the past but spur us forward in the cause of Christ. Eva Booth herself reminds us: "We Salvationists care little for tradition. The past, good as it may have been in conquest and victory, is incomparable with the mighty present and future. It is not to unlock the doors of the barred and finished past that our hearts pine for, but rather to insert the key of unflagging, tireless zeal in the golden lock of opportunity that the future places before us." Therefore, in commending to your interest and profit General Eva Booth's words, I pray that your zeal and devotion to Christ may be kindled anew. Jesus, who is the same yesterday and forever, is our Lord; our inspiration today and into the future. General Eva Burrows The Harp and the Sword – Foreword 1 .

Signature of Student: Date: 12 August 2014 3 INTRODUCTION Alf Pollard’s contribution to the business history of Australia is as yet unwritten—both as a biography of the man himself, but also his singular, albeit often quiet, achievements. He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

  • Communiqué the Salvation Army Australia Southern Territory Fellowship Corps
    May/June 2015 http://www.sarmy.org.au/FellowshipCorps Communiqué The Salvation Army Australia Southern Territory Fellowship Corps Photo CC BY 2.5 Pikiwiki Israel Banias Waterfall, Israel Dear Friends, Christian greetings from the Fellowship Corps. In this issue of the Communiqué we will look briefly at two women who played significant roles in preaching the good news about Jesus, and influencing their listeners in making personal decisions about Him. I am referring to the woman from Samaria and Catherine Booth, co-founder of The Salvation Army. Both women experienced life-changing encounters with the living Christ and then devoted themselves to telling others about Him. Even though these women lived 1,800 years apart in very different times, cultures and places, their responses to Jesus have been recorded for future generations. The gospel of John, chapter four, relates the meeting of the Samaritan woman and Jesus at Jacob’s well, near Sychar in Samaria. As for Catherine Booth, many books and papers have been written about her and how she lived her life fully surrendered to the will of God. Both women made an impact on those they met, and for generations afterwards. One woman who would have known their stories well was our own General Eva Burrows who also experienced the life-changing power of a life lived for Christ. On the next page is a summary of the tribute to General Burrows’ life from this territory. Enclosed with your Communiqué are two booklets that commemorate the life of General Eva Burrows: the Service of Thanksgiving and the Commemorative Tribute.

  • 36 Word & Deed the Differences Between the Seven-Point Statement and the Eleven-Point State
    36 Word & Deed The differences between the seven-point statement and the eleven-point state­ ment particularly reflect The Salvation Army's Wesleyan doctrinal position. As a former Methodist New Connexion minister, William Booth was strongly Wesleyan. If anyone had asked William Booth who were his heroes of the faith, John Wesley is one he would have named. Speaking about his youth, Booth said: "I worshipped everything that bore the name of Methodist. To me there was one God, and John Wesley was his prophet. I had devoured the story of his life. No human composi­ tions seemed to me to be comparable to his writings ... " The differences between the seven-point statement and the eleven-point statement can be seen at a glance: a) The original second article became two articles, now articles two and three, with additional words added to each section. b) Three new articles were introduced, now numbered eight, nine and 10. i) The first of the new articles (number eight) underlines the doctrine of justification by faith and the doctrine of assurance. It was evidently felt that the original article six was insufficient, and more needed to be added. Article eight provided what was missing, focusing particularly on the Wesleyan emphasis on assurance. ii) Article nine is an affirmation of John Wesley's concern about the teaching of eternal security or "once saved always saved" as it is sometimes summa­ rized. William Booth believed in the possibility of Christians backsliding, that they were kept in a state of grace on the same terms on which they were first saved.
